Netanyahu and Nazism
It is shocking to consider that a Jew could be a Nazi. Yet a few rare exceptions were, and received the title of "Honorary Aryan" from the Führer. Vladimir Jabotinsky, the leader of the "Revisionist Zionists," did not receive it, but he shared with the Nazis their racial conception of nationalism. He advocated the founding of a "Jewish Empire" alongside the Third Reich and received support from the Nazi Party. One of his disciples negotiated with Adolf Eichmann the extermination of 450,000 Hungarian Jews in exchange for the emigration of a thousand "Revisionist Zionists." They shared the spoils of their crime. Last month, Benjamin Netanyahu, just before being accused of genocide by the United Nations, claimed to be not a "Zionist," but a "revisionist Zionist."
he "Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories" submitted its report (A/79/363) to the United Nations General Assembly on September 20 [1].
It cautiously names what it observed. It writes, "The facts recorded in the present report lead the Special Committee to conclude that Israeli policies and practices implemented during the period under review display elements characteristic of genocide."
It is now clear to all: the State of Israel, under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, is committing genocide. One-third of the Israeli population has demonstrated against him, and two-thirds oppose his current military actions. So how did the self-proclaimed "only democracy in the Middle East" get to this point?
To understand this, we must first distinguish between the various Jewish communities in the Diaspora and the Jewish population of Israel. The reactions of each vary greatly, even though Jewish communities as a whole persist in believing that Israel is potentially their "safe haven" in the event of an anti-Semitic threat.
Next, we must acknowledge that Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government, since December 2022, bears no relation to previous governments. Only the Jews of the European Diaspora have failed to understand this, while those of the American Diaspora, for example, have already massively disassociated themselves from Benjamin Netanyahu’s crimes.
Three months after his accession to power, in early March 2023, I explained in these columns [2] that the Israeli government coalition had given itself a roadmap for a gradual coup d’état, the main stages of which I outlined. I also identified the group behind this project: the Revisionist Zionists of Vladimir Jabotinsky (1890-1940) and their American Straussian allies. I explained that the Jewish supremacists Itamar Ben-Gvir (Minister of National Security) and Bezalel Smotrich (Minister of Finance), although claiming to be followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane, were themselves Revisionist Zionists since Kahane was an agent of them in the United States.
Yet, while Jewish communities have always been the scene of heated disputes, they unite in persuading themselves that none of their members ever allied themselves with Nazism. Yet Jews are like other men, and among them, some have allied themselves with the Nazis. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who attempted to address this issue during an interview on Italian television in May 2022, was forced to swallow his remarks. It is true that he had been imprudent enough to speak of Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewishness and not that of Benjamin Netanyahu. However, the two men today share the same ideology, and the remark directed at one could also be directed at the other.
The relationships between revisionist Zionists and fascists on the one hand, and the Nazis on the other, have still not been studied as such. At most, we know that David Ben-Gurion described Jabotinsky as "certainly a fascist and perhaps a Nazi."
Fascism is a cult of violence. Nazism, on the other hand, is an ideology of racial hierarchy. Fascism undertakes massacres, Nazism commits genocides.
